I live in Chicago. Rent is high, property taxes are high, my assessments are sky high. My bills are accumulating. The only asset I have is my condo. However it needs work in order to sell it. I do not have enough income, and too much debt to get a home improvement loan. I’ve tried. I have also been looking for a job for the last 8 months. I must be too old (54) to hire. I can’t even get an interview, but that’s another story. I need help from the government in order to get my head above water. It’s only fair. Didn’t the government pay millions to bail out Chrysler? I don’t need millions, just $20,000. Maybe less. HELP!

Sorry, but that’s not going to happen. You need to list the condo for sale in its current condition. Of course, you will get less for it, given the repairs it needs, but there are buyers who will purchase ‘as is’ and then have the repairs performed themselves.
My daughter did exactly that with a condo in Hyde Park just a few years ago. It was as ugly as a box of rocks, and she got a good deal on it. She and her husband put in a bunch of ‘sweat equity’, and now they have a gorgeous condo, complete with a brand new kitchen.
Contact a qualified real estate firm and have them come over to assess a selling price for you.
It is easy enough to find out what grants are available. You can do an Internet search on grants and foundations. What you learn, whether on your own or by buying lists from hucksters, is that there are no grants available to you. Government agencies and foundations that make grants available have requirements for awarding grants. They issue a request for proposal that specifies the purpose of the grant and the qualifications that you have to meet to get the grant. Scientists, universities, and other researchers write proposals to request the grant. They compete with other proposals and many are rejected.
The grants are for purposes such as studying pollution, developing a silent lawn mower (no one ever applied for that one), finding a cure for pimples, or developing energy sources for indigent Africans. Researchers who get the grants have to spend the money as required by the granting agency and have to account for the money they spend with reports to the agency.
There are no grants to individuals who need money to pay off a debt, buy a home, or take a vacation. Business that sell grant information and claim governments give thousands away want your money for the information but they don’t tell you the facts. Don’t waste your money on them.
How is it fair to give you my 20k? The “government” is the tax base. You want us to give you 20k so that you can make more profit?
You can sell your condo as is. Some investor looking to flip (spend his 20K) will buy it.
I too would like to be retired by 54, but unlike you, I plan to support myself, not leach off of the other tax payers.
